自2000年以来,海外侨民已成为学术和政治讨论和关注的话题。直到最近,大多数海外侨民研究都集中在全球北方国家“接纳”外来者的方式上,但对派遣国在塑造海外机会结构方面的作用却进行了有限的审查。1最近越来越多的关于侨民政治的文献提请我们注意国家领导的侨民参与倡议的兴起,这些倡议旨在培养、(重建)、(重塑)和(去/去)动员侨民。目前,100多个州建立了各种形式的侨民参与政策和机构,动机多种多样。2学者们试图从国际关系、政治学和社会学等多个学科了解国内政治行为者培养的侨民参与政策的发展。3这些政策是如何随着时间的推移而形成和转变的4及其

Abstract: Since the early 2000s, under successive Justice and Development Party (AKP) governments, Turkey has developed more systematic ‘engagement’ policies with its extra-territorial communities, including citizens abroad, kin and ‘relatives’, and non-Turkish international students sponsored to study in Turkey. This article examines the governmental techniques taken up by the ruling AKP elites to mobilize these constituencies as a source of what Félix Krawatzek and Lea Müller-Funk call ‘political remittance.’ To achieve this goal, the Turkish state has configured itself as an ‘impresario.’ It utilizes public pedagogy and political spectacle as key devices through which to generate desired remittances from extra-territorial communities, as well as to cast and craft its future leaders, friends, and allies.
摘要:自21世纪初以来,在历届正义与发展党(AKP)政府的领导下,土耳其制定了更系统的“接触”政策,包括与海外公民、亲属和“亲戚”以及资助在土耳其学习的非土耳其国际学生的“接触”。本文考察了执政的正义与发展党(AKP)精英们采取的政府手段,将这些选民动员起来,作为fsamlix Krawatzek和Lea mller - funk所说的“政治汇款”的来源。为了实现这一目标,土耳其政府将自己定位为“管理者”。它利用公共教育和政治景观作为关键手段,通过这些手段从域外社区获得所需的汇款,并塑造和塑造其未来的领导人、朋友和盟友。

Abstract: Diasporas do not arise from fixed connections to objective circumstances such as dispersion or relation to a homeland, but instead constantly are negotiated and re-constituted. Ranging from internal gradual change to sudden exogenous change, the re-making of a diaspora can take diverse forms. Despite the prevalence of constructivist and processual approaches, however, research on diaspora identity change has been limited. This paper takes a comparative historical perspective to the post-2016 diasporization of the Gülen Movement (GM) and discusses how the GM responded differently to sudden exogenous shocks in 1997, 2007, and 2016. In both historical institutionalism and rational choice theories, the sudden exogenous shocks do the heavy lifting to explain change; however, it is rather the endogenous parameters that account for the variation in the GM’s responses to those shocks.
摘要:散居者并不是由于与客观环境的固定联系而产生的,比如分散或与祖国的关系,而是不断地经过谈判和重组。从内部的渐进变化到外部的突然变化,侨民的重新融入可以采取多种形式。然而,尽管建构主义和过程主义方法盛行,但对散居者身份变化的研究却很有限。本文从比较历史的角度看待葛兰运动(GM)2016年后的流散,并讨论了GM如何对1997年、2007年和2016年的突发外部冲击做出不同的反应。在历史制度主义和理性选择理论中,突如其来的外生冲击都起到了解释变化的重任;然而,正是内生参数解释了全球机制对这些冲击反应的变化。

Diaspora Engagement Policies as Transnational Social Engineering: Rise and Failure of Turkey’s Diaspora Policies 作为跨国社会工程的侨民参与政策:土耳其侨民政策的兴起与失败

Abstract: In examining the transformations in statecraft, the existing scholarship on Turkish diaspora policies largely adopts Foucault’s governmentality perspective and suggests that the shifting policies reflect the home states’ attempt to assert control over citizens, not through coercion but rather through consent. While this framing has proved workable, it provides limited room for students of diaspora studies to incorporate the overall conceptualization on the resistance in which the non-resident citizens and countries of residence engage vis-à-vis home country politics and the potential failures of these policies. I propose to follow James Scott’s legibility framework to emphasize that the home states’ evolving policies to engage with non-resident citizens is a social engineering project, aiming to facilitate the state’s ability to monitor and mold the behavior of mobile populations in the context of neoliberal globalization. I argue that the legibility framework allows us to analyze not only the standardization processes, but also the resistance against it both from the migrants and from their countries of residence. To make my argument, I employ the framework to the case of Turkey, which has received considerable attention since the mid-2010s. This article is based on archival research of Turkish state documents on emigration, empirical research conducted between 2013 and 2014 involving nearly 100 interviewees including Turkish state officials in Turkey and with migrant representatives in France and the United States, and further examination of secondary resources, including informal talks with policy makers and diaspora representatives in the post-2016 period.
摘要:在考察治国方略的转变时,现有的关于土耳其侨民政策的研究在很大程度上采用了福柯的治理视角,并表明这些转变的政策反映了母国试图通过同意而不是胁迫来控制公民。虽然这一框架已被证明是可行的,但它为散居海外研究的学生提供了有限的空间,使他们能够将非居民公民和居住国对本国政治的抵制以及这些政策的潜在失败纳入整体概念。我建议遵循詹姆斯·斯科特的易读性框架,强调母国与非居民公民接触的政策是一个社会工程项目,旨在促进国家在新自由主义全球化背景下监测和塑造流动人口行为的能力。我认为,易读性框架使我们不仅可以分析标准化过程,还可以分析移民及其居住国对标准化的抵制。为了提出我的论点,我将该框架用于土耳其的案件,该案件自2010年代中期以来受到了相当大的关注。本文基于对土耳其国家移民文件的档案研究,2013年至2014年间进行的实证研究,涉及近100名受访者,包括土耳其国家官员以及法国和美国的移民代表,并进一步考察了二级资源,包括在2016年后与政策制定者和侨民代表进行非正式会谈。

Gezi Insurgency as ‘Counter-Conduct’ 格齐叛乱是“反行为”

Abstract This article defines the Gezi insurgency as a case of ‘counter-conduct’ with a heterotopia in a Foucauldian sense and compares it with similar movements to underline its peculiarity. It argues that Gezi cannot be defined as an ‘anti-austerity’ or ‘anti-dictatorship’ movement. Rather, it was a struggle against the neoliberal-cum-neoconservative conduct under AKP rule and its leadership taking the form of a pseudo-presidential regime. Gezi not only was a search for a different conduct but also a possible self-conduct through self-invention in prefigurative experimentations with different ways of being and practicing direct democracy in the reclaimed public spaces that characterized the action process. What sustained this counter-action process was the spontaneous constitution or deployment of certain platforms like Blok and Çarşı which did not, in themselves, express or represent any given social or political organization nor a corresponding form of a generic identity. In the Gezi insurgency, actors tended to outflow their defining social categories and become a part of the series of performances in which a sense of self-transformation has been common.
摘要本文将格孜叛乱定义为一种具有傅意义上的异托邦的“反行为”,并将其与类似运动进行比较,以突显其独特性。它认为,格兹不能被定义为“反紧缩”或“反独裁”运动。相反,这是一场反对正义与发展党统治下的新自由主义和新保守主义行为及其伪总统政权形式的领导的斗争。格兹不仅是在不同存在方式的预设实验中寻找一种不同的行为,而且是通过自我发明的可能的自我行为,并在以行动过程为特征的回收公共空间中实践直接民主。支撑这一反行动进程的是Blok和Çarşı等某些平台的自发组成或部署,这些平台本身既没有表达或代表任何特定的社会或政治组织,也没有相应形式的一般身份。在格兹叛乱中,演员倾向于脱离他们定义的社会类别,成为一系列表演的一部分,在这些表演中,自我转变的感觉很常见。

Self-Identification of Indigeneity within Turkey’s Kurdish Political Movement 土耳其库尔德政治运动中原住民的自我认同

Abstract Self-identification is a vital element in ethnic identity especially in the sense of indigenousness. This concept not only has been of concern for scholars, but also it is recognized as the most important definitive item in international law by such organizations as the UN, the World Bank and the ILO. This article focuses on self-identification of Kurdish ethnic identity by investigating how and to what extent indigeneity is expressed within the discourse on Kurdishness. Although the Kurds commonly are defined as an ethnic minority, the representatives of Turkey’s Kurdish political movement certainly refuse to be identified as such. The claim of pre-existence/indigenousness of the Kurds appears particularly in two levels that include the narrative of being an ‘autochthonous nation’ of Mesopotamia (‘kadim halk' in Turkish). Second, in reference to an agreement between Turks and Kurds during the First World War, Kurds are described as one of the ‘primary components [asli unsur in Turkish] of the Turkish Republic. To explore the concept of indigeneity based on self-identification within the discourse about Kurdishness, this article specifically examines how the Kurdish political movement in Turkey has a significant influence in regional politics and growing grassroots support.
摘要自我认同是民族认同的一个重要因素,尤其是在贫困的意义上。这一概念不仅受到学者们的关注,而且被联合国、世界银行和国际劳工组织等组织公认为国际法中最重要的决定性项目。本文通过考察在库尔德人话语中土著性是如何表达的以及在多大程度上表达的,来关注库尔德人民族身份的自我认同。尽管库尔德人通常被定义为少数民族,但土耳其库尔德政治运动的代表肯定拒绝被认定为少数民族。库尔德人存在前/土著性的说法特别出现在两个层面上,其中包括作为美索不达米亚“本土民族”的叙事(土耳其语为“kadim halk”)。第二,关于第一次世界大战期间土耳其人和库尔德人之间的协议,库尔德人被描述为土耳其共和国的“主要组成部分”之一。为了在关于库尔德人的话语中探索基于自我认同的土著性概念,本文特别考察了土耳其的库尔德政治运动如何对地区政治和日益增长的基层支持产生重大影响。

Re-Thinking Islam and Islamism: Hamas Women between Religion, Secularism and Neo-Liberalism 重新思考伊斯兰教与伊斯兰主义:宗教、世俗主义与新自由主义之间的哈马斯妇女

Abstract In the 2016 Bir Zeit University elections Hamas’ women launched two videos in which un-veiled, western-dressed young girls urged viewers to vote for Hamas. The videos sparked a passionate debate: Religious forces accused the girls of being ‘westernized’ and abandoning the norm of Islamic modesty; while secular forces accused them of promoting a form of women’s empowerment linked to their success in accommodating religious values to secular ones. The debate mirrors scholarly works on Islamist women’s subjectivity that tend to adhere to the dominant liberal analytical frames and lack a clear problematization of the relationship between Islam, gender, and new forms of liberal and secular sensitivity, as Islamic practices, secularization, and neo-liberal projects are seen as opposed. Most of the literature that analyzes women within Islamist movements overlooks the historical and economic trajectories that have operated to shift the relation between gender, sexuality and religion. In 2017, I conducted extensive field research in the Occupied Palestinian Territories among Hamas women with the objective to unwrap the relationship between Islamism and the secular/neo-liberal and nationalist project instituted in the West Bank. By taking distance from the assumption that religion and secularism are opposing poles of a binary, this article provides an understanding of Hamas women’s shifting subjectivities in the encounter with new forms of secular modernity, an encounter that signifies a shifting understanding of the categories of secular and religious, and which I analyze through a new understanding of women’s bodies and sexuality.
在2016年比尔泽特大学选举中,哈马斯的妇女们发布了两个视频,在视频中,戴着面纱、穿着西式服装的年轻女孩敦促观众投票给哈马斯。这些视频引发了一场激烈的辩论:宗教势力指责这些女孩“西方化”,放弃了伊斯兰谦逊的准则;而世俗势力则指责他们促进了一种赋予妇女权力的形式,这与他们成功地将宗教价值观融入世俗价值观有关。这场辩论反映了关于伊斯兰妇女主体性的学术著作,这些著作倾向于坚持占主导地位的自由主义分析框架,缺乏对伊斯兰教、性别、新形式的自由主义和世俗敏感性之间关系的明确问题化,因为伊斯兰实践、世俗化和新自由主义项目被视为对立面。大多数分析伊斯兰运动中的女性的文献都忽略了历史和经济轨迹,而这些轨迹已经改变了性别、性和宗教之间的关系。2017年,我在被占领的巴勒斯坦领土上对哈马斯妇女进行了广泛的实地研究,目的是揭示伊斯兰主义与西岸建立的世俗/新自由主义和民族主义项目之间的关系。通过远离宗教和世俗主义是二元对立两极的假设,本文提供了哈马斯妇女在与新形式的世俗现代性相遇时不断变化的主体性的理解,这种相遇意味着对世俗和宗教类别的理解的转变,我通过对女性身体和性的新理解来分析。

By taking distance from the assumption that religion and secularism are opposing poles of a binary, this article provides an understanding of Hamas women’s shifting subjectivities in the encounter with new forms of secular modernity, an encounter that signifies a shifting understanding of the categories of secular and religious, and which I analyze through a new understanding of women’s bodies and sexuality.","PeriodicalId":44822,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Critique","volume":"31 1","pages":"241 - 261"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41514996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Youth Protests or Protest Generations? Conceptualizing Differences between Iran’s Contentious Ruptures in the Context of the December 2017 to November 2019 Protests 青年抗议还是几代人抗议?在2017年12月至2019年11月抗议活动的背景下,对伊朗争议性破裂的区别进行概念化

Abstract In this article, I argue that contentious ruptures in Iran have produced socio-political generations with differing views on political processes and strategic approaches toward contestations. Using a constructivist approach to sociological generations, I argue that the experience of such events creates ruptures that shape the emergence of generations beyond demographic similarities. While the last event to produce major systemic change was the revolutionary generation, later generations had relative success in shaping relations with the state and defining new political strategies. The most recent protest cycle between December 2017 and November 2019 seems to have the capacity of shaping another generation: One that is defined by a greater disillusionment with the state and a strategy of contention defined by a more decentralized and more adversarial approach regarding state institutions. Barring major changes to accommodate this development, the regime may be facing the emergence of a new generational group whose attitudes and strategies could shape politics in Iran for decades to come.
摘要在这篇文章中,我认为伊朗有争议的分裂产生了社会政治世代,他们对政治进程和竞争的战略方法有不同的看法。使用建构主义的方法来研究社会学世代,我认为这些事件的经历造成了断裂,这些断裂塑造了超越人口相似性的世代的出现。虽然最后一次产生重大系统性变革的事件是革命一代,但后代在塑造与国家的关系和制定新的政治战略方面取得了相对成功。2017年12月至2019年11月之间的最近一次抗议周期似乎有能力塑造另一代人:一代人对国家的幻灭感更大,而竞争策略则是对国家机构采取更分散、更具对抗性的态度。除非做出重大改变以适应这一发展,否则伊朗政权可能会面临一个新一代群体的出现,他们的态度和战略可能会影响伊朗未来几十年的政治。

Abstract This article analyzes the reasons behind the Third World-averse and overtly pro-Western character of Turkish foreign policy by focusing on the period 1961–65. I argue that Turkey’s lopsided foreign policy approach resulted from the failure to comprehend the advent of the Post-colonial phase of international relations and the leadership’s dismissal of non-alignment as a policy strategy in world politics. These factors resulted in Turkey’s overreliance on its alliance with the West through NATO. However, as the Cyprus Crisis of the early 1960s illustrates, the West was not always willing to support Turkey’s position.
本文以1961 - 1965年为研究对象,分析土耳其外交政策中反对第三世界、明显亲西方的原因。我认为,土耳其不平衡的外交政策方针是由于未能理解国际关系的后殖民阶段的到来和领导人不把不结盟作为世界政治中的一项政策战略。这些因素导致土耳其过度依赖其通过北约与西方的联盟。然而,正如20世纪60年代初的塞浦路斯危机所表明的那样,西方并不总是愿意支持土耳其的立场。
